Overview
- Igor Tudor confirmed Jonathan David will lead the line against Parma, praising the new signing’s focus and movement after his free transfer from Lille.
- Lille president Olivier Letang said he has had talks with Juventus’ Damien Comolli but received no official bid for Edon Zhegrova and stated the winger will remain this season.
- Coach Bruno Genesio noted Zhegrova only just rejoined full training after a long layoff and could be available for the Monaco match as he rebuilds match fitness.
- Juventus’ pursuit of Zhegrova is tied to selling Nico Gonzalez, with reports of an agreement in principle with Atlético Madrid but a gap on terms and possible Nahuel Molina dynamics still to resolve.
- Tudor set the squad order with Manuel Locatelli as captain and penalty taker and Gleison Bremer as vice, said Bremer will play, and reiterated that any Kolo Muani move would depend on the Dusan Vlahovic situation.
